Where this exam leads
The Manipal institutions
Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal · MIT Bengaluru · Manipal University Jaipur · Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology
Grouped by band rather than ranked one by one, because the ordering changes yearly and a branch at one institute is often worth more than a seat at a higher-ranked one. Check NIRF and the official counselling data before setting your preferences.
We do not publish closing ranks for this exam. Its counselling data is not released in a form we can verify institute by institute, and a plausible-looking invented number is worse than none — take the cut-offs from the conducting body's own counselling reports.
Courses offered
- • B.Tech / B.E. — Computer Science and its variants, which take the highest cut-offs almost everywhere
- • B.Tech / B.E. — Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical
- • Interdisciplinary programmes: Data Science, AI, Mathematics and Computing, Engineering Physics
- • Dual-degree and five-year integrated B.Tech–M.Tech programmes at several institutes
